excerpts from tonight

Joe and I both got caught at work later then usual so we decided to meet at Fuddrucker's for dinner. Noah got a cookie with his kid meal and asked for it almost immediately. I told him he had to eat his hot dog before he could have his cookie. He looked at me, looked at Joe and said "daddy wants the hot dog. i have cookie?" nice try kiddo :-P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we were pulling out of Fuddrucker's, I got frustrated and yelled 'come on!'

Noah: "JERK! mommy made a mistake"

Me: "no, noah made a mistake"

Noah: "the jerk made a mistake!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe's car was in front of us at a stop light

Noah: that's daddy! daddy has wheels. daddy has a car. daddy has lights. daddy has to drive. hi daddy. HI daddy. HI DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mommy, i don't like this cd. new cd please.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as we were getting him ready for bed, he tooted. joe said "what did you do?"

Noah: i tooted(pause, and a big smile) i like tooting!

me: what do you say when you toot?

Noah: you say Ah-scuse mes!!!

the boy keeps me laughing, that's for sure :-)

dressing choices

I was running later then usual this morning so Noah got into the shower with me. I let him pick what clothes he wanted to wear (jeans and a tractor shirt). After our shower I wrap him in a towel and let him have nakey time while I get dressed.

After I got dressed this morning, I asked if he was ready for a diaper and clothes. No, he was not. Fine, we didn't have anywhere pressing to go so I let him have more naked time. As he's playing, I picked up his jeans and shook them out. Noah looks at me, points down and says "I like these pants". ummm...honey, you're not wearing any pants! "I like these pants, diapers are yucky."

I finally got him in a shirt and diaper (after tricking him by turning on the washing machine so he could see the water). but the pants...so far are a no go.

toddler humor

Noah(pointing at something across the room) that's a butt dip!

Me: a what?!?

Noah: A BUTT DIP!

Me: what's a butt dip?

Noah: hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa (giggles uncontrollably)

is this some obscure joke i'm just not getting? does anyone know wtf a butt dip is?

He's got personality!

Humorous stories from this weekend:
-Friday we went to Target and there was a girl about his age crying through the whole store, very loudly and very whiney. we wound up next to them at some point. Noah looked at her and said "you need a nap!"

-I was in the bathroom when Joe came home from work on Friday. Noah heard daddy so ran out of the bathroom to see him. I hear Joe say "where's mommy?" and Noah answered with a very loud "pooping in the bathroom!"

-Sunday night Joe gave Noah his bath and then they came out to watch some Big Bird before bed. Noah was standing in the middle of the living room when he randomly pulls down his pajama pants. I asked what he was doing and he told me...I don't like pants!

-This morning before work Noah was talking to me when he put his hands down his pants. Again, I asked what he was doing and he said "putting hands on the penis". Let's pray this is an indoor only activity for now and we don't have to have the 'penis is for private time' talk quite this early.

knock knock

In our house, we watch The Office...a lot. We have most of the seasons on DVD, and if we need something for background noise we throw that in. Joe works from home on Thursday and keeps Noah with him. Since he does have things he has to take care of at work while trying to keep Noah entertained, the tv is on more then normal. Well, there's a joke on one episode:

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Buddha

Buddha who?

Buddha this bread for me!

so now, whenever Noah's playing on a phone or knocking on a door or something and we say "who's there?" He replies with "BUDDHA WHO!"

Are you sleeping?

After dinner, Noah climbed up on the couch between Joe and me. He laid down in the typical toddler fashion with his butt straight up in the air. Then he quietly sang: Are you sleeping? brother john brother john

it was the perfect dose of cuteness I needed on a Monday night.

Anatomy lessons

This morning as I took Noah in for a diaper change, I asked him if he had poopies in his diaper. He responded: No, just penis.

Me: oh really?

N: yup, daddy has one too!

later at dinner, at a break in the conversation Noah looked at Joe and said "Daddy has a penis!" Since Joe had missed the earlier conversation, this came out of left field for him. I just laughed and Noah gave us his new "smiling" face (he squinches his eyes up really tight and wrinkles his nose).

and one of my favorite 'penis' conversations happened awhile ago, when he got into the bath and waved and said "HI PENIS!"

I was told it's good for kids to know the proper name of their 'parts', I really don't think I have any problems in that area. Now if only he would stop saying it quite so loud, in very public places.
